History
Pre-series
When Samson taking a stroll, he came across a Komala who was blocking the road for a few farmers and travelers because it had lost its log. Samson wanted to give Komala a pineapple to replace its log but instead, it clung to Samson's face. From then on, Komala held on to Samson at all times, even when he carved a new log for it. One day, as Samson prepared to ring the bell of the Pokémon School, Komala took over and clung to the log used to ring the bell. Samson decided to keep it and Komala would continue to ring the bell every day on time.

Character
Samson is a cheerful and zany individual who enjoys making puns with the names of Pokémon while usually doing a visual impression, much to the embarrassment or confusion of those around him. Despite rarely engaging in battling, Samson is a very talented Pokémon Trainer, having managed to advance through the Battle Royal preliminary round of the Manalo Conference. Much like his cousin, Samson enjoys studying Pokémon and learning more about them, specializing in regional forms and Totem Pokémon of the Alola region.
